the loser asked:
All my life I've always worn those bathing suits that cover just as much of my body as regular clothes do. The other day I decided to try on a regular bikini type bathing suit, just to see how it would look. It looks GREAT on me, and I'm not that ashamed of my body like I used to be, but I'm still embarassed to go to the beach or anywhere else while I'm wearing it! I need more self-confidence. I won't even show it to anyone besides my mom, who tells me it looks great. How can I get used to showing that much skin in public?

Just do it little by little but don’t overdo it. Try wearing shorter than usual shorts with a t-shirt or a tank top with capris. To gain confidence with the bathing suit, wear it around the house. It sounds stupid but it works.

if it looks “GREAT”, whats the problem? wear a cover up.
Posted by Emma on September 25th, 2008.
just think that everyone will be wearing the same thing and it’s no big deal

well i felt the same way and kinda still do,
what i do is i wear a white shirt
so it’s seems like im covered but you can see through the shirt once it’s wet.
and if you can get used to seeing through the shirt you should be
able to take off the shirt and show off your
gorgess body.

why are you embarassed?
just find a bathing suit that suits your body type and get a pretty color that looks good on your skin tone.
Have fun

ok well what im about to say might sound sortof weird? idk
well if you cant find the self confidence you’re looking for you should just go out in wear it anyways..if you’re lacking the self confidence go out and wear it with the “lets just get this over wiht attitude” but just dont let that attitude show..after youve worn it you’ll feel really proud of yourself..especiallly if you turn a few heads..just the fact that you did it and you feel proud will give you self confidence it its own time

wear the bikini with a short sarong, micro-mini skirt or cute LITTLE board shorts. After a couple times you should feel confident enough to remove the extra layer.

Even though you look good in bathing suit, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to wear one in public.
If you don’t feel confident, beautiful, and secure in a **** suit then you are not ready to be seen in one.
Be yourself, wear suits that make you feel comfortable, you can begin by wearing a one piece suit, then you can move on to a more revealing suit. Little by little you can bring yourself to wear a suit that makes you happy.

Just remember that men always love ***** and other feminine curves. So, don’t be shy about it, hon! Begin! Pleeease! Thank you.

try wearing it in front of some close friends. ask them for honest opinion. if real friend, they would be able to tacfully say you look better in one piece… OR you look great!
if modesty prevails, where it alot in private to where even you do not notice it anymore.

Start small go around the house in it and out into the yard. or drive around in it. This will help you get more comfortable wearing it. then start venturing further out a walk down the road a few houses….or around the block interacting with people as you go saying hi to neighbors and such. This is the slow approach. but pretty effective starting small and building up to it….2nd approach is a little more shock your system. Start by walking around your house *****…..then out into the yard (this part is a little harder) preferably the backyard if you have smaller children around..talking with neighbors is a little hard too but very affective…..then walking around in your suit will feel very comforting.

EASY look you gotta look at your self in the mirror or walk around in it it sounds retarded but Im so serious it works just put on the two piece and walk around your house with ur fam. there and then when you get enough confidence there you got to a public pool and just ttry and walk into the pool then when you get enough confidence you just walk around the pool with yourfriends ask them to please do the same thing !
good luck ! LOL I hope it works it did for me !

My husband bought me some very revealing bikinis, and I was quite nervous to wear them in public. He showed me the designer’s websites (www.wickedweasel.com) where many women sent in pictures of themselves wearing the bikinis on vacation. It helped me get up my nerve, seeing other women like me, and now I will NEVER wear anything else. I even sent in my own pictures (guess which ones are me!).

Keep busy like reading a book at the beach. You will be distracted and won’t worry about your looks. Also, a tan might boost your confidence even more. Another trick is bringing a fat or unattractive friend with you so you look great in comparison.
